If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kuan-Wei Chiu [ Upstream commit 0d3ad1917996839a5042d18f04e41915cfa1b74a ] In the previous code, there was a memory leak issue where the previously allocated memory was not freed upon a failed krealloc operation. This patch addresses the problem by releasing the old memory before setting the pointer to NULL in case of a krealloc failure. This ensures that memory is properly managed and avoids potential memory leaks.
